Sometimes a bruise is replaced by pigmentation changes in the skin as the original fades. It essentially becomes/causes a giant freckle. In that sense, one can acquire a "permanent bruise."

Xavier Worthy - Chiefin'
Mate selection is one of the most important choices a man can possibly make. And to (roughly) quote Chris Rock: "People say there's never a reason. There's always a reason. Just don't do it."

Peach Bowl: Texas vs Arizona State, Jan. 1, 12:00PM, ESPN
We have seen good running backs before, whoopee. ASU has a locker room full of guys we processed. They are in the playoffs because they ended the season on top of the very-evenly-matched Big 12. They have not "been there before." They have already exceeded their season goals. They will fold up like a cheap tent. We are going to mudhole them. Preseason rankings don't tell everything, but they offer some insight into the talent pool at each school-- talent that needs to be deep in order to compete in the post-season. The lesson so far in this year's playoffs is that those teams that started out the season as playoff afterthoughts turned out to be, wait for it, playoff afterthoughts. Not all those teams have had the chance yet to be eliminated. We will oblige ASU on NYD. Mud. Hole. Hook'em!

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
The same pressures that caused the bag game before and that have fueled NIL-mania will exist, should any salary cap result in compensation that is less than what the "market" would have found through its own equilibrium. Phil Knight is still going to want Oregon to be stacked. What form the extra-cap compensation takes remains to be seen, but money finds a way.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
There's still plenty of time to start private auctions on tamperBay. I'm not worried we'll miss out on a suitable portal receiver.

At a minimum it would be nice to see Miami bleed OU by driving up the price.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Over the last dozen years, the Aggies have won exactly 8 games 50% of the time. Over that span, they have deviated more than one win from that total exactly once: 5 in 2022.

We make fun of people all the time for being Aggies, and that is an even more debilitating, often inherited, neurological disorder.

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
Even if there were collective bargaining, it might be quite difficult to force athletes playing for schools in right-to-work states like Texas to surrender their NIL opportunities.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
In summary: 1. Communications degrees from Texas and Duke open doors, but 2. not as many as degrees from Harvard, and 3. not as many as being a successful starting QB. 4. Also, OU has no receivers, and 5. Subjects of relative clauses take subjective/nominative forms.

2024 Playoffs Round 1: Clemson at Texas
The good news is that we might actually have already played our toughest two games of the season. UGA prior to injuries sustained against us just might have been better than the teams we'll see in the playoffs.

And if we win out, in addition to that we will have beaten at least two of the P4 conference champions and possibly all 4.

2024 Playoffs Round 1: Clemson at Texas
I haven't read the whole thread (yet?) but wanted to post an observation: Sports-media figures like to track streaks. With a 12-team field, significant playoff-appearance streaks will be possible. As the only returning team from last year's field, we are in position to own the longest playoff streak for as long as we stay good.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
A&M was built on DL and running the ball. Moss is out for the year, and their DL (among others) is out the door. This may be an epic cripple fight.

2024 Texas High School Football
Maybe the big schools need to run intramural football and recruit for their UIL teams from their own farm leagues.

2024 Big 12 Championship - Iowa State vs. Arizona State
It looked like the defender lowered his head to me. That is dangerous to both players. I saw forceful contact above the shoulders. They did not incidentally brush face masks as on the no-call that so infuriated the Aggies. To me it was not a close call. Whether the QB moves his head a little does not justify, excuse, or mitigate a lowered-helmet approach high on a defenseless player.

Trying to decide who should be ranked higher in these situations is analogous to arguing over what the top floor is in an Escher work.

If only there were a (RS) freshman on the team who could (in obviously a different way) fill that awesome-QB leader role.

- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Aggies like to claim that the origin of the name Bevo for our mascot comes from their branding a bovine they did not own without permission and not with the brand of the owner. Do they consider this more in the vein of lying, animal cruelty, or merely garden-variety felonious behavior? I am curious what part of the myth appeals to them most.- Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
